@HellPopeHuey: "  Okay, the long version of the Apple Hardware Test claims everything is 
A-OK, including the RAM, so unseating/resocketing seems needless.
  That leads me to thinking to $#@! security dongle is crapping out when 
pinged the 7th time in a cycle or some such. The crash log SAID 
"BAD_ACCESS" and "KERNEL_PANIC," so could the dongle be the villain, 
saying "No" when it should be "Yes"? Or is there some rotten problem 
between a 2 ghz CPU in a Core 2 Duo iMac and the TASCAM USB box's 
driver? I'm stumped as to where to look for the log jam. 6 weeks and I'm 
still waiting for the program to "arrive." Feh.

  Wow, that's immensely useful. Unfortunately, it skeeeers me, aieeee. I 
think I'll grit my teeth and mess with Cubase some more, having 
unplugged the TASCAM USB interface. If it runs smoothly beyond its usual 
time, I'll know that's the almost-certain demon and to get a different 
make. Then I'll reseat the RAM and try things with each stick separately.
  I never expected to have to FIGHT a Mac for function, heh. Its almost 
like those dreamy days of having Windows 95 do a high-colonic on me 
every 20 minutes. Eh, one of these tries is bound to make it snap to.
  Thanks for the info.
